The Resource Description Framework RDF allows you to describe web documents and resources from the real world—people, organisations, things—in a computer-processable way. Publishing such descriptions on the web creates the semantic web. URIs are very important as the link between RDF and the web. This article presents guidelines for their effective use.
getSchema's RDFa Lite extractor is a REST web service to extract RDF [1] data from RDFa Lite [2] annotations and provide the semantic information as N-Triples [5] , N3 [3] and JSON [4].
A Converter to RDF is a tool which converts application data from an application-specific format into RDF for use with RDF tools and integration with other data. Converters may be part of a one-time migration effort, or part of a running system which provides a semantic web view of a given application. See also: RDFImportersAndAdapters

It`s not a Web of computers, it`s a Web of People.... Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, the inventor of the Web, is talking about the history of the Web and on the subject of Web Science
This specification defines the HTML microdata mechanism. This mechanism allows machine-readable data to be embedded in HTML documents in an easy-to-write manner, with an unambiguous parsing model. It is compatible with numerous other data formats including RDF and JSON.
More and more websites have started to embed structured data describing products, people, organizations, places, events into their HTML pages using markup standards such as RDFa, Microdata and Microformats.
The Web Data Commons project extracts this data from several billion web pages. The project provides the extracted data for download and publishes statistics about the deployment of the different formats.
In March 1989, Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal for an information management system to his boss, Mike Sendall. ‘Vague, but exciting’, were the words that Sendall wrote on the proposal, allowing Berners-Lee to continue.
Aufrührerisches im Lexikon? Heute schwer vorstellbar, wenn der Brockhaus im Schrank verstaubt. Doch als Denis Diderot 1751 seine Encyclopédie beginnt, geht es nicht nur um ein Mammutwerk. Auch an den Zuständen vor der französischen Revolution will er rütteln. So findet sich unter dem Stichwort "Menschenfresser" ein bitterböser Verweis: "Siehe auch Eucharistie, Kommunion, Altar usw."

20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he`s building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.
Semantic Web is a maturing field of technology that continues to be the emphasis of much focused research. This foundational text introduces the standardized knowledge representation languages for modeling ontologies operating at the core of the semantic web.
Anything To Triples (any23) is a library, a web service and a command line tool that extracts structured data in RDF format from a variety of Web documents.
This is a specification of a precise semantics, and corresponding complete systems of inference rules, for the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and RDF Schema (RDFS).
The knowledge contained in the World Wide Web is available in interlinked documents written in natural language. To make use of this knowledge, technologies such as natural language processing, inf...
Digital Version of the famous Encyclopédie....
The Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, par une Société de Gens de lettres was published under the direction of Diderot and d'Alembert, with 17 volumes of text and 11 volumes of plates between 1751 and 1772. Containing 74,000 articles written by more than 130 contributors, the Encyclopédie was a massive reference work for the arts and sciences, as well as a machine de guerre which served to propagate the ideas of the French Enlightenment. The impact of the Encyclopédie was enormous. Through its attempt to classify learning and to open all domains of human activity to its readers, the Encyclopédie gave expression to many of the most important intellectual and social developments of its time.
RDF Translator is a multi-format conversion tool for structured markup. It provides translations between data formats ranging from RDF/XML to RDFa or Microdata. The service allows for conversions triggered either by URI or by direct text input. Furthermore it comes with a straightforward REST API for developers.
